Filled Up Wrong Petrol....

[DANSR33]

Hey guys, I filled up regular unleaded rather than premium unleaded by accident...

Is it really bad?

What affect will it have?

[RedEmblem]

Put an octane booster in? :|

[Esc]

shouldn't be to bad.

just don't drive that hard. and when you next need to fill up put premium unleaded in.

I will for sure!!!

Man I must have been day dreaming I swear... Ive had my car for 3 and a half years... lol

lol, i know what you mean. Was with a guy that had just came over here from south africa and watched him fill his deisel 4wd with premium unleaded, just didnt click in my head. but unlike you his car was f*cked to drive after that. Thank god it was a work car

man thats tough...

I honestly dont know where my mind was............. lol

[**JaR**]

shouldnt affect it to bad if it was just one tank... will just make your ecu go into a run rich mode i think...

[sam5709]

ok a bit off topic and sounds stupid but iv heard a couple of myths if you want your car to pop flames then put in unleaded in lol cos it will make you mixture rich and a rich mixture is what will let you pop flames lol

[SECURITY]

if your ecu isnt tuned it shouldnt do much damage at all.

if it is i would recommend not giving it a hit.

damn, for the first time in ages I actually filled up a full tank... hehe

The unleaded will increase the risk of detonation when on boost. If you want to get rid of it, go for a liesurely drive up the F3(?) to Newcastle and back. Then fill with PULP.

I did it once but i had no choice - the petrol station had no premium whatsoever.

I put just enough to get me to another servo to fill up with pulp. I did put some octane booster in for good measure. The car ran like garbage - backfired heaps, idled funny

I always double check before i put the nozzle in

[Jolinator]

just syphon it and put it in someone elses car..

[subzeroR33]

Put an octane booster in? :|

Agree^^^^^^^^its worth the $20

[Al]

Definately put a good quality octane booster, not the cheap shit from the servo, but even that is better than nothing.

[WTF-33R]

Nulon Pro Strength Octane Boost and Clean. $21 from repco.

At least you didnt put petrol in a V10TDI Toureg. $25000 to replace pumps, rails and injectors. I have heard of a Toureg owner who did it paid the $25k only to have his missus make the same mistake 2 weeks later

add some toluene, then go race it.

wouldn't worry about those other pretend additives you buy from kmart.

eitherway the standard knock sensing will keep you safe.

[Kinks]

eitherway the standard knock sensing will keep you safe.

it should, and i know there are some savages around who will flog their skyline on 91 RON and the engine seems to keep it together (not sure for how long though!).

My stock series 2 occasionally pings slightly on 98 RON, so I'd feel horrible about putting anything less in (had to use 95 RON plus octane boost once and it still wasn't brilliant). should have a look at the spark plugs sometime they're probably the factory originals

[markimak]

well give a boot full it will miss a splutter and or detonate.

engine may go bang lol.

nah but seriously it will be ok. just run the tank out and fill up with optimax.

lol putting petrol in a diesel car. had a guy in a brand new hiace D4 TDI who filled up with unleaded. that pissed out smoke. ended up draining tank. replacing filter. priming. remove filter prime again. and spend 30mins cranking...

i watched a police officer do this with a new 4WD in wa, that was funny, drove it to the exit of the Fuel station and just died in the ass rofl. stupid police
